Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among its many dominant scores, this facility received a top-shelf long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.70408 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded proved to be this nursing home's worst category. However, even its lowest point would be a strength for many facilities. We gave it a strong grade of B in our nursing category. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
